| Sunset on a great evenings running on Hove Seafront |
It's been go go go here at SSP HQ, mainly because all sorts of good things are happening - for example we are covering the Race to the Stones with Pic2Go live technology this coming weekend - uploading runners photos live to their facebook photo galleries during the event (as long as we can see their pic2go barcodes!)
48hr coverage of an event that has a 100km course which is not readily accessible by car needs quite a bit of planning. One day I'll blog about the sets of all weather laptop boxes I've constructed
from scratch, the power considerations for all night flash photography, battery charging and laptop use etc. and that's not including the thought of "so where's the internet in this wireless blackspot then?"
Things are easy when you can last 6hrs for a marathon, but when it's continuous from 6am saturday to 9pm sunday - when do you sleep ? It's definitely been an excuse for
some work toys.
Last night was one of mixed blessing at the Phoenix Summer 10k (and Sussex 10k champs) and the RPAC Summer 10k in Reigate. On the upside, the torrential rain passed through both locations before the races, but on the downside Tony's very expensive camera threw a shutter blade, so if you want to know what the last moments of a Canon 1Dx cameras life looks like here you go..
 |
Unlike a scene from the Omen, this is just a shutter blade flapping about.
I can confirm nothing happened to the runner later (so far...). |
Here's a table of things for you to look up your race and see your galleries ! Enjoy reliving the experience...
Don't forget discount corner - deadlines for these are getting closer and people are signing up
A few quick shots from our selection of races for you in no particular order

| Moody skies at the start - caught by my 6yr old daughter. Not bad technically, timing and on composition. |
 |
| Rain gone away - all is ok |
 |
